Liverpool have been very inconsistent this term and are sitting in ninth place in the Premier League, with no win in three league matches.
“They have had some problems in defense, less in offence”, the manager said, according to PremierLeague.com.
During that 24 month spell, Liverpool hit Norwich for five goals on three occasions with their final clash of that period seeing three goals.
Unlike Liverpool, Norwich are now injury free and have their full complement of players available to them for the match.
“We have to go through the situation, and we have a few players, maybe Adam (Lallana) is not ready, but hopefully then he will be fresh for Tuesday”.
The Brazilian Cafu, Jon Flanagan, recently returned for Liverpool prompting many exciteable Reds fans to Tweet the original Cafu – something he was all too eager to respond to, welcoming Flanagan back to match-day action. Lucas Leiva has similarly made impactful appearances from the bench, and Jürgen Klopp may keep him reserve for such a moment again. He deserves his place after an impressive showing against Exeter.
After defeat in 1994, Liverpool have recorded nine victories against Norwich, while there has been two draws – one of which was played out at Anfield earlier this season.
With most of his first-team regulars having been rested for the midweek FA Cup replay against Exeter there can be no excuses about fatigue when they lock horns with Alex Neil’s Canaries.
Christian Benteke scored 4 goals against Norwich during his time at Aston Villa in league and cup.
Norwich have not won in 11 league games against Liverpool.
The Liverpool man has scored with each of his last four shots on target in the Premier League.
“You look at the table and think 18 points, it’s not so good, but they are creative and quick”.

There is little doubt about Firmino’s talent, but he needs to be more clinical in front of the goal.
